The sound of waves and proximity to nature add to the charm of this cosy and inviting cottage.
The majority of reviews highlight the property's cleanliness, with several guests noting it as spotless. However, there were isolated incidents of cleanliness concerns, such as finding glass on the floor, which suggests room for improvement.

It does not need a lot, but a bit of t.l.c. Would be good. It was nice to receive a bottle of wine, but given the distance to shops some renters would welcome some milk!

Sandpiper Cottage is superbly situated for a family holiday on a beautiful stretch of coastline. Itâs extremely cosy and well kitted out for good old seaside jolly. We cooked, ate out at the pub, played games by the fire and enjoyed a lovely half term.
